Mamelodi Sundowns coach Trott Moloto has been impressed by the commitment shown by his new recruit, new Bafana Bafana star Sibusiso Zuma.

Speaking after his side lost on penalties to Black Leopards in the Limpopo Invitational Cup on Sunday, Moloto said it was important not to rush Zuma because he had not reached full fitness levels at yet.

"I think he played very well, but it is important that we don't rush him because he is coming back from an injury," Moloto told the official Sundowns website.

He added: "He will gradually get back to his best until he reaches the level where he is at his best."

Giving his overall impression of the two games, Moloto said he was happy that 'Downs played against competitive sides like Dynamos in the semi-finals and Leopards in the final.

"This was a good tournament for us because we are gradually intergrading the new players into our system. Tournaments like these give us an opportunity to see which areas we need to work on going into the new season," concluded Moloto.
